Picked this up at the weekend;

Just need a new rear wheel or rebuild (lots of missing spokes)? and a cassette.

This is my first attempt at getting something a little older on the road, I plan to use it as a tourer and maybe use it for LEJOG in the longer term.

Question is if I buy some new wheels, what cassette would be compatible with the chain and rear mech that is currently on there, any ideas? as the both seem fine.

Would look at Retrobike for info / retro questions.

For using as a tourer, I see a major lack of braze-ons hindering this, also you may find the geometry is off for this.

Looks like it was a 10/12speed.

I agree with jimc, Retro bIke road forum is your best bet. There's a bottomless pit of knowledge on there.
